Crap gotta update tha blog.

This week has been pretty good. Uni is boring at the moment, because I don’t have much teaching work to do. Most afternoons I end up surfing the internet and trying not to fall asleep. The kids are still a bit difficult, but I don’t take any crap so I’m doing OK. I played some Halo with the computing class on Friday afternoon and that was the most fun thing I’ve done at school yet - despite being constantly teamkilled because I was the teacher :)

Other than that, I’ve been putting together job applications (there is A LOT of work to do when you’re applying for 3 jobs per week) and watching The Wire from a set of dvds that Rin sent over from Sydney. The Wire is pretty good, by the way - but not everyone’s cup of tea because it’s a bit slow.

I’ve also been trying to do more creative writing (although that, in itself, is a tired and unoriginal sentiment, so you’d be forgiven for thinking right away that I have no talent). The bits I’m writing are short, so that I can finish each one quickly and have something to be proud of. Most of them are straight-out fictional essays or letters, not even stories. Weird stuff inspired by Margaret Atwood. I’ll let you know how it goes.

  3. OK, I’m seriously thinking about NaNoWriMo this year. Seriously.
